Procedure
Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the
grounding wire.
Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug.
Step 3 Crimp the grounding wire in the barrel of the grounding lug. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached
to the ground lug.
Step 4 Place the grounding wire lug against the grounding pad on the switch, making sure that there is solid
metal-to-metal contact.
Step 5 Before you secure the lug to the chassis, make sure that the grounding lug and the grounding wire do not
interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment. Secure the grounding lug to the chassis with two
M4.0 x 8mm Phillips pan-head screws.
